Polls open in half an hour, and I still don't know who I'm voting for.

One bit of advice to fellow voters: voting is an investment, not a horse race.

Voting is an investment. Your vote is how to you signal to politicians what policies you prefer; for most of my early voting life I voted for candidates that I knew would not win, but my vote signaled to them, and to others, what my preferences were. My vote was an investment in my future political environment.

Voting is not a horse race. The goal is not to determine who the likely winner is and vote for said candidate, less your vote be "wasted."

I can't decide, at the moment, who I prefer to win, among less optimal to dreadful to unthinkable choices; or if this year is radically different, and I have to decide who I must vote to keep out of office at all costs.
